Josep Pique - Vueling Chairman - Statements in relation to the process of Public Acquisition.

Tuesday 23rd April 2013

"The public acquisition process has concluded with a significant number of Vueling shareholders deciding to sell their stake to IAG, following the recommendation of the Board of Directors that I chair on April 9.

On that occasion, the Board considered that the price per share by IAG offered was fair. But more importantly, we said that the full integration of Vueling into the IAG structure offers significant strategic opportunities for future growth and development.

Today I can only reiterate that view. I am convinced that Vueling will maintain the dynamism, innovative spirit and competitiveness that are the foundation of its success. Those attributes, along with a reinforced presence in IAG, will allow us to continue to grow and consolidate our position as a unique as a unique player in European commercial aviation".
